“Public transport that is inaccessible lets down far too many public transport users around Victoria,” accessibility campaigner, James Carter said this morning.

“In parts of regional Victoria the transport is rudimentary at best and discriminatory at its worst and has a significant impact on the choices people can make.

“Everyone has places they need to get to: parents with prams, older people, business travellers with luggage – even people with sporting injuries. We have a right to demand a transport system that works for everybody,” Carter said.
